Atlanta is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States and is rich in history and culture. The city is the birth home of Martin Luther King and also the childhood home of the former president, Woodrow Wilson.
If sports is just your thing then a visit to the home of the Atlanta Falcons, the Mercedes Benz Stadium would be just up your street.
You could always take a stroll through the Centennial Olympic Park, have a picnic, or even just enjoy the music and light show during the evenings. The city is nicknamed the City in a Forest and is meant to be admired and enjoyed by its visitors.
Take a visit to the National Center for Civil and Human Rights in downtown Atlanta, which was built in 2014 and has soon become one of Atlanta’s biggest attractions.
If that really tickles your fancy, then maybe try squeezing in a trip to the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park for a truly humbling and introspective experience. Make sure you take the time to stroll with a coffee from a local cafe and spot all the amazing street art around the city.
If you’ve done all the tourist spots, snapped all your vacation pictures, and now looking for something thrilling to do, then paintballing will sure as hell be a memory you and your family won’t ever forget.
